Those of us living in a large city can now look away and go back to the crossword or whatever, because this is a public service message for anyone who’s at risk from small scuttling creatures which wish them harm. This Sunsbell UV Scorpion Hunter is, as the name suggests, a tool for locating the little critters quickly and easily. Which is the way we would definitely like to do it, given a choice.

Of course, tech being what it is, this is not just a blacklight for creepy crawlies, it will also locate and highlight general mineral crystals, and maybe even the odd Holy Grail now and then. No wait…

Actually these 395nm UV lamps will also locate pet and vermin urine on floors and carpets, inspect banknotes for forgeries, cure UV glue whatever the heck that is, and probably other esoteric stuff. We understand it can even be used to detect those areas which have not been cleaned properly, such as in hotels. Who woulda known?

The flashlight runs off two AA batteries and costs $10.06 with free shipping.
